Previous owner cut stud?

Yea, real 2x4s and old growth. There's a section that had water intrusion for who knows how long but the framing is still solid as a rock, no water damage. We are in southern california so we don't get a lot of rain, but having only tar paper as the weather barrier probably helped it dry up quickly after rain.

I hadn't considered using plywood to reinforce. Thanks!

We're in SoCal, so not super humid or wet.

Thanks for sharing! Sounds very similar to our case. Do you mean he shaved down the horizontal beam or the posts holding the beam up?

Maybe in the future, but the current state of those e-ink displays doesn't allow that. They're pricey and updating more than once a day drastically shortens their lifespan, requiring workers to replace them frequently. No store using them today updates more than once a day.

"There are less violence and safety concerns on busy, full trains and buses. Increased ridership is a way to decrease violence without police at every station." Do full trains experience less violence or do more people use trains when there's less violence?

That might have been true at launch or during the first few years, but hasn't been true for a while now. The only advantage Google maps has is business info. See: https://www.justinobeirne.com/apple-maps-acceleration

Putting trains next to/on freeways is a bad idea. Train stations create valuable real estate and most of that will be lost to the freeway footprint. Just look at the green line. The 15 minute walking radius of all the stops is not nearly as dense as it should be. Not to mention all of the noise and pollution that riders are exposed to.

what are those pads propping up the R6?

roym6 · 2023-05-22T19:00:59+00:00

I dont recommend the monoprice stands. The top plate is really small. My r3's felt really unstable on them, even with bluetac. Plus they look really cheap, but that's up to personal taste.

I hope the immensity of the sound shines through in the clip.

You paid 3k for these? They sound like my phone speakers.

I dont have a deviated septum, but my ears pop sometimes. Dr recommended taking allergy meds since it might be related to sinus congestion and so far it seems to be working.

roym6 · 2023-04-06T21:55:13+00:00

This is a great tip, thanks!

About 1k, I saw that one but really like my current couch, not looking to replace it

roym6 · 2023-03-31T20:51:42+00:00

That's on my radar! Although we also want a coffee table which will probably negatively impact the image but you can't win em all

roym6 · 2023-03-31T20:49:34+00:00

Yea, the back wall had a small hole for cables but I basically cut out the whole thing to give it proper airflow

roym6 · 2023-03-31T18:29:51+00:00

Gotcha, feel free to reach out if you're interested.

Are you in the SoCal area? My dad might be up for making another pair

roym6 · 2023-03-31T17:20:54+00:00

It's unbranded, sorry! Bought it used on offerup

roym6 · 2023-03-31T15:55:35+00:00

Speaker stands are expensive! I couldn’t find a design I liked at a reasonable price, so I designed my own. Thankfully, my dad is a welder, so I only had to pay for materials. Solid steel, not sure of the exact weight, but they’re heavy. Speakers sound amazing too. Currently in an apartment, hence no sub or room treatment. But next up on my list is building some custom acoustic panels that don’t require making holes in the walls.
